Reborn Millennial Gamer

Edgar Bronfman Jr. returned to the hotel angrily, and immediately used a fixed-line multi-party call to pull the CEOs of Sony, Universal, and Universal into the "group", adding fuel and jealousy, and not forgetting to fight.

"Lu really said that?"

Andy Lack, president of Sony Music, sounded skeptical.

"That's right, he won't give in even a single step, not even such a reasonable request as a floating price. We must fight no matter what, and we can't let logic and Apple get stuck in our necks!"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. said it emphatically.

The president of EMI immediately echoed: "Fight to the end! Even if we can't get back the dominance of pricing, but we can't say as much as they say, we have to get back some right to speak."

"Brother Dao, you don't talk the whole time, what are you thinking about?"

Andy Lak noticed that the president of Universal Music who hadn't said a word also caught Edgar Bronfman's attention, and he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, Doug, why don't you speak!"

Doug Morris frowned. The relationship between him and Edgar Bronfman Jr. was very delicate. In the past, this stupid ass was the boss of Universal, and naturally he was also his boss, but it is not what it used to be.

Although Edgar Bronfman Jr. is still a billionaire, but in terms of status, the two are on equal footing. They are both generals who crusade against Mr. Lu and the leader of Qiao Gang. They are obviously teammates in the same camp, but they always use the boss's commanding tone to call themselves. drink it.

Under the urging of President EMI, he smiled coldly:
"What's the point of our fighting? No! We have nothing to do with Lu and Jobs. Spotify and iTunes monopolize 95% of the global market."

For a while, the four record giants fell silent.

Andy Lak sighed, although the words are ugly, but this is the reason. In order to keep the stronghold of Neon, Sony has connected all the music companies of Neon to form a united front. on one's last legs.

But except for neon, Sony's traditional markets around the world have been encroached by logic and Apple, and its lifeline has been completely grasped.

Ever since, the atmosphere on the phone gradually changed from one kind of embarrassment to another...

"The sales of physical CDs are slowing down. The future must belong to digital music! I think Lu is right. How to generate and increase revenue in the digital music era is our way out."

Doug Morris raised the white flag bluntly. Although surrender is shameful, it is useful. "Rather than worrying about whether Spotify will increase its price, you should care more about how to make money on YouTube!"

"Heh, we can't keep accommodating Lu!"

Little Edgar Bronfman couldn't stand this kind of grievance, especially when he thought of Lu Fei enjoying Ivanka's flaming red lips at the moment, he couldn't get angry: "He controls Spotify and Youtube, which is equivalent to controlling The future of digital music media is tantamount to controlling our future, which is a dangerous trade."

"Do we have a choice?"

Doug Morris smacked his lips: "Compared to Lu, Jobs is even more of a tyrant. Being with him is not easy."

"We have no choice, but we have to organize a counterattack and win at least one initiative. Even if it doesn't work in Spotify, it can make the subsequent YouTube negotiations less passive."

Edgar Bronfman Jr. scoffed.

"How to fight back? Do you have any good ideas?"

Andy Lak pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.

"We have to let Lu compromise, and only in this way, Jobs will follow suit, so as to protect the interests of the big guys."

Edgar Bronfman Jr. directly proposed this class action lawsuit against Baidu, which also brought Penguin along with it.

"Goodbye, little Edgar!"

Andy Lack was amazed, and the president of EMI also said good things in agreement, and the words of praise were beyond words.

Under the duo of the two singing together, they vaguely recommended Edgar Bronfman Jr. as the vanguard, to play the lead.

idiot!

Doug Morris looked at the past and reminded him with kind words: "Penguins are penguins, and logic is logic. You can't confuse them because of Lu. They are completely two companies. You can't use Penguins just because of logic. To cooperate with the oil pipeline."

"Doug, which side are you on?"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. was a little smug, and it was especially harsh to hear the objections.

"Of course I stand on the side that is beneficial to Universal Music and everyone else. We can sue Penguin for infringement, but it is best to win the lawsuit against Baidu and have a legal precedent."

Doug Morris said, "What do you guys have to say?"

"no!"

EMI President replied immediately.

Andy Lak also echoed: "Doug is right, he is right, we have a long-term cooperation with Lu."

"It can only be aimed at logic, right? I still have a way."

Little Edgar Bronfman curled his lips, and was about to instigate a joint letter to the Ministry of Justice to let the anti-monopoly agency investigate the logic and investigate the Spotify monopoly case, but was quickly interrupted by Doug Morris.

"I don't think we should act rashly. How about finding out what Lu's third cooperation is?"

"I agree!"

Andy Lak and the president of EMI have their own ghosts.

"..."

Little Edgar Bronfman gritted his teeth and cursed "fuxk" in his heart. How can he do well in the record industry with these insects?How to save Warner Music's poor financial report!
The key point is that if he can defeat Lu Fei in the negotiation, he can make a big name for himself. He cannot wash away the stigma of being a "jack in the media industry", but at least clear his name. He is not the prodigal son and shame of the Bronfman family.

It can also thwart Master Lu's arrogance, what the hell, Ivanka actually throws herself into the arms of a Chinese?

"What's your question?" Doug Morris asked.

Hmph, how dare you speak to me in this tone before?
Little Edgar Bronfman was getting more and more upset, Universal was always a thorn in his heart, so he suppressed his anger and said:
"No, just wait until the logical press conference is over."

………………

On October 10, Maskoney Convention and Exhibition Center.

Logic's press conference and Apple's press conference have become two major events in the IT circle, and they are also holy gatherings for countless technology fans and fans.

When Edgar Bronfman Jr. arrived, he stretched out from the doorway, and the long queue was endless. They were all spectators who had applied for admission tickets on the official website, and their eyes were full of admiration.

In an instant, I couldn't help feeling sour.

Looking at the special channel, all the media people from all over the United States flocked to the IT circle, the number is too numerous to count, and they are all aimed at the greatest joy of the press conference——

Logic will release the world's first mobile phone this time!

You must know that the itunes mobile phone jointly launched by Apple and Google has been overturned, and the response has been mediocre. If Logic makes a gorgeous and successful debut, it will be a perfect lore.

Also, a milestone transformation.

In the past, no matter how desperate friends and businessmen are, logic is at best a strong enemy of music players and tablet readers, no matter how strong they are, but mobile phones are quite different.

As soon as the media reporters entered the venue, they could easily find the familiar figures of technology giants in their sights, such as Nokia President Kallasvuo Kallasvuo, Motorola President Zander, Apple Hardware President Rizio, and Sony's Kazuo Hirai...

"Isn't that Sergey Brin and Larry Page?"

"Yes, it's them, hey, even Google?"

"It's not just them, Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Bear Stearns, Blossom, and half of Wall Street are also here."

"What are they here for? This is a technology conference."

"Of course I want to quote Logic! According to estimates by Wall Street analysts, Logic's profit for this quarter reached $3.16 million, and its revenue and net income both hit a record high. In the third fiscal quarter alone, a total of 6.8 Kindle 1s were sold. 76 music players, and some unspecified scanners and flash memory chips, the annual growth rate of the entire sales may reach an astonishing 425%.”

"Not only! The data is even more terrifying. Don't forget about Spotify and Kindle Mall. Logic has not released specific figures."

"No, the logic isn't to keep claiming that Spotify doesn't make money..."

"Listen to his nonsense!"

Little Edgar Bronfman stood in the crowd, and his few words were all praises, as if he was sour after eating lemons, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"You know again?"

Everyone cast their eyes one after another, and soon someone recognized him, and immediately whispered to each other.

"Of course!"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. pointed out on the spot, "A song is 99 cents, the record company gets 70 cents, the independent label gets 60 to 65 cents, the average is 69 cents, and the operating cost is 20 cents. Cents, logic nets..."

"Actually, it's not that high!"

Ballmer came out laughing.

In an instant, everyone turned their attention, "Microsoft is a shareholder of Spotify, and Steve knows it best."

"Haha, Lu is a genius, Microsoft was completely caught off guard, completely dizzy."

Ballmer laughed, exposing himself that Microsoft tried unsuccessfully to replicate the Spotify model.

"But you invested in Spotify and made a lot of money, right?"

Kang Peikai curled his lips, not without envy.

"How is it possible! We have always wondered how Lu persuaded the major record companies that most of the income was paid to them as royalties. Are you right?"

Ballmer stared, his eyes full of naked threats, not a hint, but an explicit statement——

Spotify's profits are prohibited from being announced to the public!

"Yes, that's true."

Seeing that the Microsoft CEO was protecting the calf, Edgar Bronfman Jr. had to give in, his face darkened, and he left the crowd without looking back, and found a seat belonging to Warner Music in the lobby.

Doug Morris and Andy Lak, who were in the same row with him, took their seats early, and the exhibition hall that can accommodate a full 3000 people was full.

Backstage, lounge.

"After the press conference is over, the video will be uploaded to Youtube."

Lu Fei chewed gum and put his arms around his arms.

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

Guo Xing took a deep breath: "Should our creative advertisements also be posted on YouTube?"

"send!"

Lu Fei glanced, "Old Guo, why are you looking so nervous?"

"Mr. Lu, don't you know why I'm nervous?"

Guo Xing licked his slightly dry lips.

"Hey, you're too restless. The epoch-making work lphone will be released next year. Do you still want to take quick-acting heart-rescuing pills?" Lu Fei joked.

"To tell you the truth, I'm ready now."

Guo Xing took out the medicine bottle from his chest, grinned and said, "There are too many new products in this year's press conference, it's too exciting, and my heart can't stand it."

"Don't be nervous, we will succeed."

Lu Fei spit out the gum.

Guo Xing nodded solemnly, "I believe in you Mr. Lu, but do we really want to give Dr Dre a little equity?"

"No, how can he work hard for us and promote earphones for us in the music circle? It is also the same reason to pull record companies such as Universal and Warner, as well as NBA stars."

Lu Fei laughed and said, "If you want to take something, you must give it first."

At this moment, Zhang Tianmei came in a hurry and said, "Boss Lu, the time is almost up, it's time for you to play."

.........

After a while, the spotlight focused on the stage, and an alarm clock was projected on the screen, which was slowly approaching 10 o'clock.

Immediately afterwards, a light hit the entrance from the backstage to the front desk.

When Lu Fei appeared in his usual white short-sleeves and dark blue jeans, with a trendy IT man attitude, thunderous applause immediately erupted from the scene.

"Lu!"

"Lu, Lu!"

Just like Apple has fruit fans, Logic has successfully purified a group of loyal fans because of its successive products.

is this necessary!is this necessary!
When little Edgar Bronfman pulled his heart out, he could find the sour lemonade, which melted with the stomach acid and made his whole body sour.

"Hi! Guys."

Lu Fei waved his hands sometimes, and sometimes pointed away. He looked energetic and ruled the world. His eyes flicked across the faces of the friends in the front row one by one, and he also noticed Ivanka in the blond hair and red dress.

"Ok."

He pressed his hand, and the ppt behind him immediately jumped to a new page, and a picture of kindle 1 suddenly appeared.

"Last year, also at the press conference, I said that between mobile phones and laptops, there must be a third type of device, and it is neither a netbook nor a tablet with a stylus touch. The real answer is it, yes. ?"

"Yes!!"

In an instant, many people responded with their Kindles held high, and the whole scene was like a large gathering place of believers.

"When it first appeared, many people laughed at it, who would only read with such a tablet, but throughout the year, kindle 1 has sold more than 150 million units worldwide."

Lu Fei plausibly said: "Kindle e-books are also the most popular items in Amazon's sales rankings. Kindle has become an anti-piracy moat for e-books!"

Sony, Philips, Nokia and other major international companies have mixed feelings, especially Apple.

Riccio's face was particularly ugly, because he focused on the ipad project, but Jobs kept improving and disdained the physical buttons of the kindle, and he wanted to make full-screen touch controls.

It is simply more difficult, more difficult than heaven!

When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Lu Fei laughing and saying: "Logic has always believed that 'only logic can defeat logic', there were countless models of Kindle 2 in front of me, but I smashed them one by one, no They're not good enough, but they lack a flat soul."

As he said that, he took out the kindle2 from the oil paper. The streamlined appearance was enough to prove that it was not a technology of the same dimension as the kindle1. Then he fiddled with his fingers casually and lightly touched the screen.

In an instant, the 6-inch electronic ink screen glowed brightly.

"It's touch!"

The audience did not know where the first shout came from, and soon there were ripples, screams one after another, and applause broke out.

"Yes, we are the first to apply touch screen and technology to mp3, but that is only a small screen, and now, logic has been able to perfectly transplant the touch technology to the big screen."

Lu Fei pressed his hand on the screen, "The big screen beyond the big hand!"

"Wow!"

"Oh my God!!"

"Bravo, Bravo..."

The applause and applause became more and more intense, and the roof was almost toppled, and the surrounded friends and businessmen were sitting on pins and needles one by one.

What the hell, the opening scene is Wang Zha, what do you mean?
Riccio's face changed drastically in an instant, and Ballmer also stared wide-eyed. Under the watchful eyes of Microsoft executives, he grinned wryly, "It's broken, it's broken, the stylus tablet is a stand-in!"
"Has logic already mastered the technology of resistive touch screen?"

Kang Peikai was tilting his head, whispering to his subordinates.

In the line of sight, there is a square speaker at the bottom of the big screen, and there are two ball buttons on the left and right sides, which are the four major functions of "home", "keyboard", "return to the previous level" and "search". , clearly defined.

"This touchable button design, mother fuxk, who designed this logic, check, check it out for me, no matter how much you pay, you must dig Nokia!"

Kallasvuo licked his lips excitedly, and a shape similar to the Nokia n86 had already appeared in his mind, hazy.

At this moment, the projection screen prominently displays:

The best tablet in the world, bar none.

Lu Fei stood in front and glanced around his friends. In fact, there were not many companies that made tablet computers, but they pretended to be arrogant. They put their hands in their pockets as if they couldn't find a match. Who else! !

"see it?"

Doug Morris, with complicated eyes, poked him with his elbow.

"Doug, you are too timid."

Little Edgar Bronfman swallowed his saliva in the face of the turbulent cheers, so deadly sour, but that’s it, suck~
